Game time PM13:39
East of Savage Highlands, [Loya] tribe, the leader's house
"so……"

Largo looked at Ji Xiaoge and Mo Tan with some surprise, and said in astonishment: "Can you find a mysterious and powerful person who is willing to explore the ancient ruins with us?"

Mo Tan nodded and gave an affirmative answer: "Yes, and he is an external aid of the Paw Patrol, so there is no need to provide additional commission. The only problem is that our friend is a little far away from here. It will take about three to five days to come here."

Largo frowned and waved his hand, saying, "Brother Mo, although we are friends, you must understand one thing. When it comes to the 'commission' for hiring you, you only have a say when we [Loya] unilaterally reduce the remuneration. Other than that, how to pay the remuneration is completely free for me, the client of the task."

Ji Xiaoge, who was standing next to her, was stunned at the time. She blinked her beautiful almond eyes blankly: "Ah?"

"Brother Largo, you...ah."

Mo Tan, who was the first to realize the other party's hidden meaning, tried to argue with reason with a wry smile, but he only said half a sentence and sighed under Largo's firm gaze, saying helplessly: "If you give more, it will really be too much of a premium."

Largo waved his hand and said seriously, "This is not a question of premium or not. We [Wreck-It Ralph] are at least a well-known mercenary group in the northwest. Even if I am a useless leader, I still know how to give commissions. To be honest, Brother Mo and Sister Yege, if the situation is not too urgent this time, if I can find another suitable team, I will not let you go to the ancient ruins to take risks."

"Ah! There's really no need to pay extra!"

Ji Xiaoge, who was slow to react, immediately raised his wings and said seriously: "Brother Largo, don't forget, we are doing this to make a living. Now we can not only receive the task but also help you. It's a win-win situation. We would be embarrassed if you gave us more!"

"I should be the one who feels sorry, because I have been dealing with the Archaeological Association since I was a child. Although I have never explored large ancient ruins before, I know very well that such things are ridiculously dangerous. To put it bluntly, even an epic like me may not be able to get away with it in the worst case scenario, let alone you guys..."

Largo pursed his lips and gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it. I'll find Pesci to think of a solution. You guys better not get involved in this dangerous thing. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, I'll be really sorry."

Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge smiled at each other. Just as they were about to appease the conflicted elder brother in front of them who was responsible, ambitious, and loyal, they heard a half-familiar female voice coming from the door -

"There is no better way. If you insist on not letting the Paw Patrol Team get involved, then my suggestion is that we should not go either. Let's stay here together and wait for the ancient ruins to lose their mystery. By the way, try to transfer as many people in the tribe away before that."

Peschi, still looking like a scholar, walked slowly into the room and asked Largo, who looked troubled, indifferently, "What do you think?"

"I didn't want you to go from the beginning. You are a scholar, and it is not suitable for you to frequently enter dangerous places like those armed archaeologists in the association."

Largo looked up at his childhood sweetheart and said seriously, "So I think it's me who is still me..."

"go by yourself?"

Pei Xi interrupted him with a sneer, raised her hand to adjust her glasses, and spoke quickly: "How many documents have you read before 7000 years of the Holy Calendar? How many research reports on the fourth type of offset ancient ruins have you analyzed? How many sets of ancient engineering devices have you dismantled whose theoretical technical capabilities far exceed the current average level? How many sets of secret language sequences of the Sun Dynasty, the Cang Yue Empire, the Thorn Federation, and the Teliris Co-Prosperity Sphere can you identify? If you want to commit suicide in a more novel way without taking a professional like me, you can try a more bizarre method."

Largo: “…”

"As for the members of the Wang Wang Adventurer Team, they are very strong both individually and in terms of their trust with us. When we need more manpower or combat power to solve a problem, they are even more reliable than the young people you brought back."

Peschi walked to the table, took a sip of water from Largo's cup, and continued, "And as they said, adventurers make a living from this kind of business. They can provide you with help far beyond their adventurer level, and you can also provide them with rewards far beyond their level. Or, for the same adventure, you would rather they take risks for strangers than for your friend's tribe? Why? Don't you trust them?"

"How can it be!"

Largo waved his hands and said hurriedly: "How could I not trust Brother Mo and the others? It's just that this is too hasty and dangerous. I'm not sure..."

"Are you not sure you can protect them?"

Peschi glanced at Largo and said calmly, "If that's the case, then if you can protect them, the Paw Patrol will not be going on an 'exploration' this time, but a 'sightseeing' trip. It's a luxurious sightseeing trip with a powerful bodyguard like you. In this case, they should pay you a bodyguard fee."

Largo: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"Ha ha!"

Seeing that Peschi had silenced the stubborn Largo with just a few words, Ji Xiaoge burst out laughing and cheerfully asked the stunned leader of the Destroyer and the leader of the Loya tribe, "So that's how it is. Then, how much protection money are you going to charge us, Brother Largo?"

"Just pretend I didn't say it, just pretend I didn't say it."

At this point, Largo realized that with Peschi here, he would have no chance of winning in terms of "reasoning", so he raised his hands in surrender and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you this time, but let's be frank, I still have the final say on the reward, how about it?"

"Okay, then I'll listen to you, Brother Largo..."

After Ji Xiaoge looked over, Mo Tan smiled at Largo and added, "But I have to make it clear in advance. If the premium for this 'reward' is too high, we will subconsciously feel that we owe you a favor. You [Destroyer] have been famous in the mercenary field for many years, so you should be very clear about the weight of such a heavy favor, right?"

Just as he was about to nod and raise the price for Mo Tan, such as giving the commission of this commission a 20% discount, Largo was suddenly speechless. After a long while, he finally said, "You are so cruel."

Sandalwood: (`)
Ji Xiaoge: (ω)
"Well, since it's already been decided, you can just ask that alien friend to go through the Mage Guild and teleport to the war state Daragabu or the business state Meladia."

Largo stroked his chin and said to Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge seriously, "Those two places are not far from us. It would be much easier to use the advanced teleportation provided by the Mage Guild than to travel here normally. Of course, the cost will be paid by the Destroyer King. That should be no problem, right?"

Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge looked at each other, not really sure if this was a problem or not. After all, in terms of timeliness, Largo's proposal did make sense, but they also knew that the charges for the Mage Guild's teleportation service were extremely high, and the more comfortable advanced teleportation service was extremely expensive.

It would be fine if Largo really made this suggestion because he was in a hurry, but if it was just to save Gu Xiaole a few more days of wind and sun, such a large sum of money would indeed be a waste.

So, the two people who were a little undecided looked at each other and then turned to look at Peschi at the same time, hoping to seek the advice of this young lady.

"No need."

The latter also gave an answer without hesitation, saying lightly: "Although the threat of the ancient ruins will grow over time, it is far from the point where it must be dealt with immediately. Otherwise, I would not have not contacted you until now, but planned to wait until the [King of Destruction] came back to deliver food. In three to five days, as long as nothing unexpected happens, there will be no problem there." Therefore, Largo, who knew that he would never be able to win the argument with Peschi, could only sigh helplessly and said seriously to Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge: "Please express my gratitude to your friend on my behalf."

"Don't worry, don't worry."

Ji Xiaoge chuckled and said happily, "To be honest, my friend is... well, our major is similar to Sister Peixi's interest, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of her so quickly!"

Pei Xi nodded slightly and smiled faintly at Ji Xiaoge: "I hope we can get along well."

"Well, then let's make a deal!"

Ji Xiaoge clapped her hands and said seriously, "After our friends arrive, we will set out to investigate that ancient ruins. If it is safe and harmless, that would be the best. If there are hidden dangers that can threaten Loya, we will find a way to deal with it!"

"If you find that the hidden danger inside cannot be dealt with, remember to follow my instructions and retreat immediately. Don't try to be brave."

Pei Xi looked at Ji Xiaoge and Mo Tan seriously, and said solemnly: "Our Archaeologists Association has agreements with many neutral organizations. If we really explore some high-risk areas, as long as we cooperate, including but not limited to intelligence exchange, we can find more professional people to handle it. If we encounter a situation of particularly high value and danger, there may even be legendary people to assist us."

Mo Tan followed the train of thought and understood what he meant. "So, our mission is not so much to solve the problem as to conduct a comprehensive survey and risk assessment. After all, even the Archaeologists Association cannot ask partners to send a large number of people over based on a few reports. But if there is substantial information, then subsequent problems will be easier to handle."

"Yes."

Pei Xi looked at Mo Tan approvingly and nodded, "That's probably the truth. Although this doesn't mean we should let down our guard, if there is really a big problem, as long as there is even a little benefit to be gained, there is no need to worry about no one to deal with it. Not only will there be no problems on Luoya's side, but we may even gain some benefits from it."

The two members of the Paw Patrol did not say anything, because they knew very well that Pacey's last words were actually directed to Largo.

The latter commented on this with a casual smile and a shrug, saying, "As long as the matter can be resolved smoothly, it doesn't matter whether it is good or not, we at Loya don't really care."

"Yeah, so you never considered taking the opportunity to connect with organizations other than the 'Vested Interests of Savage Highlands' in an ideal situation to help balance possible suppression in the future, right?"

Pei Xi covered her forehead and shook her head in a tired tone, "Forget it, forget it. If there is a chance, I will try to do more. Anyway, let's do it this way. I'll go back and chat."

Largo was stunned and asked in astonishment: "You are going back now?"

"Well, I came here this time to persuade you not to be so impulsive. Now that I have said it, I naturally have to go back to work."

Pera glanced at her childhood sweetheart and said unhappily, "You don't think I'm going on an outing with you guys, do you? The preparations before departure have already piled up like a mountain. If we don't hurry up, I'm afraid we won't know what we're going to face until we walk in."

After saying that, she no longer paid attention to Largo, nodded to Mo Tan and Ji Xiaoge respectively, and left quickly.

Two minutes later——

"Cough cough."

The winged beauty cleared her throat deliberately, awakening Largo who was in a state of eager anticipation, and said from the bottom of her heart: "I have to say, Sister Pesci is really good to you, Brother Largo."

"Yes, after all, we are friends who grew up together."

Largo touched the tip of his nose, then smiled bitterly at the girl's teasing gaze: "And you can see that she has always treated me as a fool, so... well, this is not bad."

"Not bad?"

Ji Xiaoge narrowed her almond-shaped eyes, obviously not wanting to let Largo go just like that.

However, the latter resolutely changed the subject this time and said seriously: "By the way, since we still have to wait for your friends, and we can't leave until two or three days at the earliest, if you don't mind, Brother Mo, why don't we learn from each other and exchange ideas in the next two days?"

Mo Tan burst into laughter upon hearing this, and said happily: "Are we communicating with each other, or are you guiding me?"

"If I have to say it, I should be the one guiding you."

Largo also laughed and said with interest: "But this is not just to help you, I am also really curious about how much you have grown in the past few days."

"Okay, then I won't be polite. To be honest, I actually want to find an opportunity to verify the results of my past few days."

"Then let's find a place to practice now?"

"Uh, Yege, what do you think?"

"Pfft, you still need my opinion on this?"

"Not really..."

"Don't worry, don't worry. I'm just watching you from the side, so I'll go tell Lao Jia and the others first! I'll come find you later!"

"it is good."
